It Is a Notable Satisfaction
to be able to commend a new work of American fiction, not merely
because it is interesting, dramatic and exciting, but also because it
throws light on the national character, possesses a national
significance, and is an eloquent portrayal of a crisis in the
national development.
Such satisfaction was enjoyed last year when Emerson Hough’s
54-40 OR FIGHT was issued. To an even greater degree it is
now experienced in connection with Mr. Hough's new story, THE
PURCHASE PRICE. It is so vital, so vigorous, so pertinent in its
theme and purpose, so important to all Americans that every book
man will relish the opportunity to place it in his customers’ hands.
t
A New Novel by Emerson Hough
The reader will discover in this powerful novel, kinship with
Mr. Hough's tireat success of last year, 54-40 OR FIGHT. Like its
predecessor, it possesses an epic breath, a national dignity. It is even
finer in its choice of time—the years just preceding the Civil War.
No period in our history is so striking and romantic. It was a
time to stir men's souls, and Emerson Hough, mak ng those days
reappear before us with the sweeping strokes of his imagination,
stirs our souls in sympathy.
It is, after all, the claah of two great na
tures, man and woman, in the age-old duel
of the sexes that enthralls us in THE
PURCHASE PRICE. In creating them, and
in shaping the dramatic scenes between them, G
the author has done the best work that ever '
came from his brilliant pen.
\ The book has been given by its pubhsh
l' era a dress to accord with the importance of
J» its contents. It is the moat elaborately illus
* trated novel of the season, a sumptuous volume
unusually attractive as a holiday gilt. Illus
trated with over 50 pictures by M. LEONE
BRACKER and EDMUND FREDERICK.

Her city 1 iuiuI.
The countrywoman i.- often per
plexed ubout what to give her city
friends, often discontented ie» to what
atm must give them. She cannot al
wayi afford to buy gltts eoBtly anil
beautiful. She thlnl.s nothing el»*
suitable. Whereas, she often hat*
right In her own home the \ery things
city folks would «• luoirio w ith Joy—
things which money is scarcely able
. to buy them.
Are theru any apples*, even though
they may be prize tinners, quit* like
thn apples down on the farm? A
barrel of apples- ••'real farm apples,"
as one city woman described them—
would cause mere joy In many a city
home than the 11 neat sofa cushion or
most artistic lamp shade.
There Is a lv-st of things the coun
trywoman can -.end her city friend
1 beside apples. 11 one-made sausage

any more- may sound pleheiun, but
' they are miffhtv good. Home-made

and hickory nut* frum too ti»»« up
1 the back lano—what rejoicing would 1
fill many a rlty homo If such a box or t
i barrel arrived?
| To the countrywoman who has these I
i things about her In unstinted quantity, 1
they seem very ordii . r> and entirety •
too unpretentious* to Kite ’‘city folks*."
; Hut if they could only g* t the " lty

;ln und prepare such a Christmas box
, Some greens from the woods, some
branches of the pirns tree In tho front

In the corn • r of the fence will add

No one can g<> i-.mlss when they
send the country to the city *twelters,

pure breeres. And there is ever a
.hankering of the uppetl'e for the flav
